Substantial damages for man hit by car

Tony Christian was out shopping when he crossed the road outside his local supermarket and was hit by a car, sustaining fractures to his pelvis, ribs and spine.

Tony explains: “I was hit by a vehicle coming from the right. I hit the windscreen, rolled off and was dragged along the road. I was knocked out. Basically, the driver was going a bit too fast for the circumstances and wasn’t keeping a proper lookout. My injuries were quite bad so I contacted Rapid Solicitors.”

A source at Rapid said: “We collected a detailed statement and took our allegations of negligence to the Defendant. The driver denied liability so it was then our job to build a case strong enough to win at Court, if necessary. Fortunately, we persuaded the Defendants to concede before the necessity of a trial. We negotiated an excellent settlement, based on our Client’s injuries and the impact on his life.”

Tony continued: “I was able to use most of the settlement to pay off my parents’ mortgage. I’m very grateful to Rapid Solicitors who did a really good job. I’d been recommended by another of their clients and found them in the phone book.”
